The ten-day long operation by the security forces (SFs) which targeted about a dozen commanders of the Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) outfit in Bhati Dhar forests of Mendhar in Poonch District came to an abrupt end in the evening of January 8 with all militants managing to escape, Daily Excelsior reported. Army sources confirmed that the operation has been called off and all militants, who were being searched for last 10 days, might have escaped. "The operation, which had started on December 30 afternoon in dense Bhati Dhar forests, is off. All militants were reported to have escaped taking advantage of rugged terrain and prevailing climatic conditions in the area", they said. This was the longest ever anti-militancy operation in Jammu region in two decades. Reports had been indicating presence of eight to 10 Pakistani commanders of the JeM, including Abu Dawood and Babbar, in cave hide-outs converted into permanent shelter place by the militants using boulders inside the dense Bhati Dhar forests. As reported earlier, two Army soldiers, a Special Police Officer and at least four militants were killed in the operation. All casualties took place during the initial phase of the gun-battle.
